About the bar

Okay, so why the name? Well, if you’ve ever been in Chengdu you’ll know that it’s home to China’s most beautiful women with the longest legs and the shortest shorts. And what do guys do when they see a beautiful girl? Well, wolf-whistle (among other things, perhaps…). And so ‘The Leg & Whistle’ was born.

It was back in 2007 that Tony and his Chinese partner, Tian Feng, set up the Leg near the south gate of Sichuan University – an area already full of great restaurants, clubs and other bars.

The Leg has always been the best place in Chengdu to watch sport because it’s run by people who actually know something about it. It’s also always been the closest thing to a British pub in the city with its friendly welcome, cracking atmosphere and cosmopolitan crowd.

So come on down sometime and say hello. Sit on the terrace of an evening to enjoy the last of the day’s sun over a beer or a cocktail. Pick up a cue for a game of pool with your mates. Or just pull up a stool and have a chat over a pint.
